Travelers Are Enjoying TSA Pre✓™ - Read What They’re Saying

We
appreciate your tweets and your calls letting us know that you’re enjoying the
many benefits of TSA Pre✓™. As the TSA
Pre✓™ program
expands, we are committed to providing the same quality of expedited screening
nationwide.

If
you haven’t heard of TSA Pre✓™,
it’s an expedited screening program that allows pre-approved airline travelers
to leave their shoes, light outerwear, and belt on. TSA Pre✓™ travelers can
also keep their laptop in its case and their 3-1-1 compliant liquids/gels bag
in a carry-on.

We’ve
heard your requests for more TSA Pre✓™ locations and we are happy to announce more
locations coming soon. To date we have rolled out TSA Pre✓™ at 97
airports. You can see the complete list by clicking here.

It’s
also expanded to seven more air carriers (Alaska Airlines, American Airlines,
Delta Air Lines, Hawaiian Airlines, United Airlines, US Airways and Virgin
America). But, we’re not stopping at seven—we know there are other carriers
that would benefit from TSA Pre✓™
and we’re looking for more opportunities to expand.

What’s
next for TSA Pre✓™ you ask? We
will be launching a TSA Pre✓™
application/enrollment process by the end of the year. If you want to apply,
all you need to do is fill out the application online and visit an enrollment
center. Check back on our website for more details to come. In the meantime,
you can be eligible to receive TSA Pre✓™ benefits by applying for CBP’s Global Entryprogram,
or through an invitation from your airline’s frequent flier program.

But
don’t just take our word for it. Read about what the locals are saying about
TSA Pre✓™:

As long as the TSA does not have bomb sniffing technology and metal detectors at every airport, as long as the TSA requires air travelers to disrobe, I will not use air travel as my means of transportation.

Pathetic. Why is this not the default level of screening for ALL passengers, not just a perk for the wealthy elite and those chosen at your whim? Why can't you people admit the scanners are a disgusting, invasive waste and that th shoe and liquid farces make no one safer?

I like the Pre Check lanes, I find it funny that people are already complaining that the lanes are too crowded with folks that do not know what they are doing. TSA is giving passengers less screening to some passengers and now its seemed as a problem. Yet another case where TSA will not win no matter what they try.

Not all airports have the manning to have precheck open much, so they have integrated lanes, many precheck passengers are unaware of the difference, this was rolled out so fast and never explained. In an integrated lane passengers person is the same but bags are treated like any other lane, this upsets many precheck passengers who were not informed
